Our business is built to help Fortune 500 and startup businesses take their incredible ideas and concepts, transform them into a product, and launch them into the market. Medical device product development is not easy. Resolution provides a expert product development services to our clients. We partner with the right industrial designers and contract manufacturers to develop your concept and transform it into a product that meets or exceeds your expectations while holding to your business objectives.

Resolution Gives You a Better Choice

Companies that have decided to outsource traditionally think they have to choose between using an industrial design firm or a contract manufacturer. With complex projects, our experience has shown that neither choice leads to a successful outcome.

By connecting design with manufacturing, Resolution helps lower costs and reduce the time to bring a new product to market. We understand the different phases of product development and partner with superior industrial design firms and contract manufacturers and manage all the parties through the product development program. Our best-of-breed strategy lets companies do what they do best to deliver you envisioned product to the marketplace.

My Industrial Design firm/Contract Manufacturer says they can do the job. Why do I need Resolution?

We regularly speak with companies that have engaged an outsourced development partner only to learn that the project missed deadlines, went over budget, and provided a design that was too expensive to manufacture, or in some cases was unworkable.

Contract manufacturers are experts in building hundreds, thousands, or tens-of-thousands of the same unit. Their business model is predicated on providing their clients a number of units per month or per year. They offer their “engineering expertise” as a means to acquire the manufacturing work. In reality, their engineering expertise means manufacturing engineering, not R&D engineering.

Industrial designers are experts in taking concepts and transforming them into innovative products that naturally flow in the workplace or the product’s use model. Industrial designers will sell their engineering services outside of concept development in an effort to win the front end of the contract. Typically, industrial designers lack the mechanical expertise to deal with thermodynamics, emissions, COGs, and manufacturability.

Because Resolution only does Product Development, our business model is predicated on taking concepts and developing them into manufacturable products that meet your customer and market requirements. We partner with best of breed industrial design and contract manufacturers and manage the program from start to finish. We employ senior level development engineers from the medical device, life science and defense industries. Our superior quality management system has been audited and used by Fortune 500 companies.

Innovative, outsourced product development requires core expertise in mechanical and hardware design, embedded programming and FPGA development, software development and vision integration. Resolution has proven experience in each of these areas. Resolution excels in the development of Class II, Class III medical devices, clinical analyzers, and imaging solutions to the medical device, life science and consumer markets.

My project is in disarray and I need to make a change, can Resolution get me back on track?

Fixing broken projectsis our specialty— Resolution is often brought in after projects have collapsed. We are skilled at taking what was created by the industrial design firm or contract manufacturer and transforming it into a functional product that can be manufactured.

If you are reading this page, you probably have a program where your development effort is running late, over budget, or your product does not work. The challenge you have in front of you is to identify companies that can provide solid product development services to address your short-term and long-term development needs.

Over the last 8 years, Resolution has helped several small, startup companies regain investor confidence after a failed contract manufacturer engagement. We took over the development program and got their product on market. If you are in this situation, please review our services and our work and reach out to us so that we can understand your project’s goals and get you back on track.

Why will my Product Development Program be Successful with Resolution?

Resolution is a product development company founded on the premise to let the experts in industrial design and manufacturing do what they do best. Resolution’s mission is to provide the best engineering product development services and partner with expert industrial design and contract manufacturers to ensure a successful outsourced product development project. Simply put, Resolution does ONLY product development. This lets the industrial design firm and contract manufacturer do what they do best.

For each of the four major phases of product development (industrial design / concept development, product development [R&D], transfer to manufacturing, and manufacturing) the right partner must be engaged. This is as true today as it was in the early days of manufacturing. Why is it that all successful product companies have a manufacturing department, engineering department, and marketing department? Successful Fortune 500 companies have proven this time and time again. Companies that have successfully launched complex products have realized the importance of aligning the right skill set with the right processes to bring their product to market.

At Resolution, we understand the different phases of product development, partner with leading industrial design firms and contract manufacturers, and manage the program from start to finish.
